Hi readers,
As we brace ourselves for another summer of maddening heat. There’s plenty to talk about. AI is the zeitgeist of discussion and jobs in climate are still on the rise, yet as I write this, New York is currently shrouded in smoke due to Canadian forest fires and it’s only June.
This is issue 7 of Foundfuture. Five more examples for what creativity can do in the climate crisis.
Enjoy and thanks for reading,
Gareth
1 - Holi
A brand new project I‘m super pround to have been involved in for most of last year is launching soon. Holi is a brand new digital platform for social and sustainable apps and a space where ideas meet action. You can read more about Holi and their mission on their website. See a case study on my site or can read in depth about the brand identity by Justified here.

5 – Young Designers Changing the Game
From Milan Design Week, the Lexus Design Award winners suggest we can have nice things, without ruining the planet. I particularly love the jacket which turns into a tent which collects rain water.
